About this website
My aim for this site is to show a decent responsive design and a website implemented using several commonly used Open Source technologies.
Front End
Foundation framework
Foundation offers a customizable responsive grid system for targeting any screen size or device and several modules for common types of User Interface elements.
Interchange
Foundation's Interchange module takes care of loading just the kinds of images your device needs: svg vector-based images for devices that support it, retina images for high-dpi screens and fallback images for everything else.
Back End
Ruby on Rails
The main framework for this website. Most of the other technologies are added through Gems. A Gem automates the installation and management of a Rails module or other technology.
Hosting
Heroku
Heroku is a cloud platform as a service (PaaS) supporting several programming languages. This site uses the Ruby on Rails platform hosting.
